Postgraduate entrance examination is a painful and enjoyable process. In addition to the determination to cross the rubicon, the method is also particularly important. Those who set great ambitions will achieve medium ambitions, those who set medium ambitions will achieve small ambitions, and those who set small ambitions will not succeed.
At this time last year, I also found various review experience stickers online, which helped me a lot, so I hope my experience can also bring you some help, but everyone's learning methods and habits are different, so we should learn from others' experience and find a suitable learning method and stick to it!
How time flies, pain and happiness.
First of all, English review.
English is a lasting battlefield. Don't think that you can make great progress by rushing to review.
I still have a lot of experience in English review. Let me tell you in detail.
1, because I brushed TOEFL several times in senior three. Although my score was not high, I memorized many words, and the foundation of words was laid from then on. So I didn't make great efforts to memorize English words for the postgraduate entrance examination, but everyone's situation is different, so I should pay attention to words anyway. Just do the "lightning version of xylose English word" Do the real question, do the real question, do the real question.
Those who get readers win the world, and strengthen English reading skills through real questions. I basically do a set of reading comprehension A of English I or English II real questions every week, sort out the wrong questions into a wrong book, copy down the stem of the questions and the necessary original texts, and analyze the reasons for the mistakes in each question. Don't do cloze if you don't have time, because in the end, you will find that practicing or not is just a poor score. What about reading comprehension B? If you have done real questions for several years, the error rate is not high, and there is no need to do too much. If the error rate is high, it is necessary to further strengthen the practice of reading comprehension A. I recommend xylose English real questions here, which are very good. I also took a xylose English course. When I have time, I will pay attention to the official account of xylose English WeChat, and I can read it before eating and sleeping. Be practical in your heart.
English is what my family says is wrong. Don't throw eggs.
2, one's deceased father grind necessary conditions:
One of the important conditions is the vocabulary of 7000-8000 (equivalent to the core vocabulary of TOEFL).
Don't recite GRE vocabulary, or you will feel like dying, unless you are determined to take the GRE and postgraduate entrance examination at the same time! )
You know, the 5346 words listed in the syllabus are all core words. The so-called core is that most of the questions in this range will never test those non-core vocabulary, that is, the test center must be on the core vocabulary. However, without those so-called non-core words, you can't do this problem at all, or you can't understand the article at all! Not to mention doing the problem.
The second important condition: grammar
I list the sentence patterns I want,
(a) Nominal clause
(1) subject clause
(2) Predicative clauses
(3) appositive clauses
(4) Predicative clauses
(2) Other clauses
(5) Attributive clause
(6) Adverbial clause
Voice: passive voice
Mood: subjunctive mood.
Common sentence patterns: direct object, indirect object and inverted sentence, as well as omitting structure, emphasizing structure and subject-predicate agreement.
The grammar here doesn't require you to do the questions. You just need to memorize one sentence of different types of sentences and understand the sentence structure and translation methods, which is helpful to understand the article, do the translation questions well, and judge the upper and lower logical structures of cloze and cloze. Remember, don't read the lexical part, just the grammar.
The third important condition, phrases and idioms
To master nearly 736 phrases, this xylose is also summarized.
Emphasize the importance of more phrases. If you know all the words but put them together, the meaning will change. For example, you can say it again! Of course, this is not a phrase, just an idiom. Every word adds up to: "You can say it again!" But it adds up to: "You are absolutely right!" Express a positive tone. So phrases are very important, and the consequences of not reciting them will be very serious! You will get angry when you get an English exam result!
Perhaps, in addition to reading, some people will ask the translator. Obviously, after reading English, there is no problem with translation. Writing is also a piece of fat. Maybe English experts (those who can get 600 points in CET-4 and CET-6) despise my point of view, but I think writing is to fill in the box and set the pattern after going to the examination room. It's really like writing, like a raging river, and like the water of the Yellow River ... It's not easy to write a composition in our mother tongue. Frankly speaking, most people don't have the ability to write original compositions in foreign languages in the examination room.
Among the various types of English materials for postgraduate entrance examination, only the real questions are the most valuable, because there is only one set every year, which is called the essence. The process of writing the questions can't be compared with the unreal questions, so it is of little significance for everyone to study the unreal questions for postgraduate entrance examination (teachers of xylose English say so ~). To do non-real English is to practice the feel and speed of doing the problem at most. In fact, there are not many real English questions, and we really need to study every part carefully. You can listen to the video of xylose English postgraduate entrance examination on WeChat. You can do the real questions first, and then do the real English questions after thorough research. In the past two years, the real problem has been kept until June 5438+February simulation. When learning real questions, you can sort out the expressions of words and phrases that you can't express, and you can practice answering questions repeatedly.
Let's speak English first. Remember that English must be accumulated in daily life. After all, the best way to learn a language is to use it constantly.
Second, review the experience of specialized courses.
Bibliography is an important basis for reviewing specialized courses, which is equivalent to the examination scope. Although the exam may test some parts not covered by reference books, most knowledge points are still within the scope, so reference books must be fully familiar with and carefully mastered.
1, true question.
The real questions must be collected, and as many years as possible. Because every teacher has a general proposition idea, although the topic will be different every year because of the change of research direction, the knowledge points that proposers are used to writing can be summarized through real questions in five or six years.
Exploring the teacher's preference for questions through real questions sounds like a shortcut to the postgraduate entrance examination, but the workload is actually not small, because it takes some time to summarize the real questions over the years, find out the knowledge points, and then count a probability. Students who don't have enough time can try it.
Let's talk about the law of real questions in professional courses first. The mid-term and final exam questions can basically hit the annual postgraduate entrance examination questions. Everyone must read it several times. After all, it is an examination paper for undergraduates in our school, which is of great reference significance and it is also important to learn well. Of course, sorting out the postgraduate entrance examination materials is a time-consuming thing. I got a complete set of materials in a treasure's "Xylose Bookstore", including real questions, mid-term and final questions, senior three notes, and a summary of important and difficult points. If I do these things by myself, it is not only incomplete, but also a waste of time. Everyone should pay attention.
2. Tutor's thesis
On the one hand, grasping the proposition idea is an important way to study the research direction of the tutor, and it is also an important way to plan the examination focus and save the review time and energy. I suggest that you can go to official website, apply to a professional college, collect the names of all your tutors, and then search the papers published by your tutors in the past year on HowNet without downloading every one. According to your own professional content and thesis topic, you should screen out papers that may be knowledge points to download and integrate knowledge points. Because this part is far more prone to problems than other knowledge points.
3. Current affairs
Current events here refer to news related to the major. You can look for important news in the past year or two, which may be the point that the tutor will pay attention to, and there may be problems that cannot be ignored.
Regarding the review time of specialized courses, I would like to give you some suggestions: it is suggested to review the bibliography before September, and conduct a focused comprehensive review in September-11month. If necessary, review notes and key points can be sorted out. 12 months, make the last general review with review notes.
4. Make good use of the outline
Generally speaking, there is no shortage of time in the examination questions of professional courses. I simulated it before the exam and finished it in almost an hour. Of course, in the actual exam, because the questions and answers were more careful, it took two and a half minutes, and there was still a chance to check and revise.
This part of the examination content is the main part of the outline, that is, the examination content and scope. I'll tell you how to use it. The outline needs to run through the whole preparation process. So you'd better print it out.
(1) Comparison table of contents: Compare the outline with the table of contents in the bibliography, and you can see the moisture content of the outline. The syllabus of some schools is directly a bibliography and may be deleted, but this syllabus is the most water-saving. You can only bet on the key points and scope by real questions. However, the outlines of some schools are very careful, which can be a good aid to review.
(2) Reference ideas: The general outline is compiled by the professional teachers of the schools applying for the exam. Generally, it has been used for more than many years, and there may be only minor changes every year. The test sites are comprehensive, and the importance of each test site is given. You can refer to the outline when taking notes. This kind of thinking is not only helpful for memory, but also helpful for thinking exercise when doing problems. You can answer directly according to your notes, that is, give an example after each factor, and the question will get full marks.
(3) Distinguish the key points: generally divided into four categories, namely, understanding, understanding, mastering and mastering skillfully. Every knowledge point may appear on the test paper, so when you carefully read the knowledge points, you must not take any chances. Proficiency: this is the fourth category, which is not in the syllabus. The word proficiency may appear in a more detailed outline, which is the most important. (4) Take the final review as a supplement. In the final stage of the review of professional courses, when you want to enter a "thin" state (the specific method can be to turn over my previous articles), you can take out the outline, go through the knowledge points one by one, and also check for leaks and fill gaps by the way.
The experience of specialized courses is mainly about learning methods and ideas, as well as specific review methods. You can sum it up according to your own habits. Everyone's details are different, so it is difficult to apply them directly.
There are two points to note here:
①: Never be a perfectionist! ! !
Many bosses recommend special courses for mind mapping. I thought, isn't mind mapping my strong point? Without saying anything, I immediately moved back a stack of white notebooks from the stationery store and made my own mind map. Something terrible happened ... Perfectionism completely controlled itself in the process of taking notes. At this time, I have begun to wonder if I should look at this mind map again. After all, I did it too carefully and lost the "soul" of mind mapping.
②: Never try new methods at will and find shortcuts for yourself! ! !
I happened to find that there were too many things to recite, and I thought it was good to make up the formula, so I came up with an idea that seems strange now: to make up some important and difficult points to recite. Do it! I read more than ten pages of books every day, and I have highly concentrated the knowledge points on each page. The content of each page is condensed into one or two "poems". It took me two months to compress more than 440 pages into 66 pages. At that time, I really felt that I was awesome! These two notes really devoted my whole semester's efforts. Take it with you to eat, sleep and class, for fear of losing it. Now think about it, at that time, I was like a demon, taking the postgraduate entrance examination as a bet, constantly trying what I thought was the "bright road", constantly trying to pit, taking my own road, and never returning.
Professional courses are probably like this. Everyone must sum up their learning methods in the review.
Third, in the final sprint stage.
The most important thing is to check for leaks and fill gaps, and concentrate on reciting! Summarize and classify the important test sites that are easy to make mistakes and confusion, and focus on the contents of each section. The premise of all this is that after reviewing in the basic stage and intensive stage, you must have a very clear and accurate grasp of the knowledge points of professional courses. Here we are divided into chapters, that is, which chapters need to be reviewed in series and which chapters do not need simple understanding.
Fourth, systematically arrange learning.
Postgraduate entrance examination is not necessarily about our intelligence. To a great extent, we must understand his thoughts and intentions. We may not do well in the exam if we study well, but we won't do too badly in the exam. Don't blindly explore skills. A lot of things can be done without skill, but it takes more time, but it is really a basic skill. When you can't remember any skills in the examination room, this basic skill can save lives. On the basis of solid basic skills, it is also good to master some special skills to solve special problems, which can save time and verify your own achievements.
I suggest you arrange the study time of professional courses systematically. The above review timeline, experience and suggestions are all from my personal point of view and may not be suitable for everyone.
